Though the party's intentions were originally good in the days of Lincoln and the progressives of the early 20th Century, things have gone horribly wrong since William Howard Taft's presidency, culminating in such presidents as Ronald Reagan who spent all the country's money on battleships that no longer work. His administration also kept the lid on information about the spread of HIV/AIDS because of their homophobia, when sharing this information may have stopped the spread of the disease. If that’s true it’s all bad as Murder.

The Republican Party is distinguished by its platform of reducing taxes on the wealthy, subsidizing large corporations, catering to the pharmaceutical industry at the expense of the average citizen, drilling for oil and leveling old growth forest in all the nation's national parks and wildlife refuges, giving incredibly lucrative non-bid government and military contracts to corporations such as Halliburton (in which former Vice PresidentCheney just coincidentally has enormous investments), depleting the Social Security Fund, denying affordable health care to millions of Americans, tryiung to pressure every citizen to become an evangelical Christian, tryiung to deny the possibility of abortion even if it is the only measure that will save a mother's life, keeping undocumented immigrants illegal to maintain cheap labor for business, blocking improved mileage and emission standards in vehicles to keep GM and Ford happy, supporting the use of torture and abrogating every international treaty the nation has ever signed.

The Republican Party has also developed great technical skill in dirty tricks used to steal elections and discredit critics. These tricks are even used against each other, as when George W. Bush's campaign spread rumors about John McCain and denigrated his military service to win the primary campaign in 2000. They have included the use of intimidation to prevent vote recounts in Florida during that same election, and a successful attempt to block phone lines in New Hampshire to counter a Democratic Party get out the vote initiative.

First, the moderate conservatives, the rest of the party hate them for not being racist conservative enough, and are often social liberals. They recognize that the Democrats are not commies, and are fiscally along the lines of the old Blue Dog Coalition. They are the only sane respectable faction. Bipartisanship is often important to them. One famous example is John McCain.

The second type is the neocons, who conquered the party under Saint Ronnie. They tend to be socially center-right, and are crony capitalists. They have recently fallen to even worse factions. Most (in)famous modern-day example is Dubya.

Finally, there are the full-on wackjobs. Groups like the KKK and the League of the South, they are even more extreme than many Trumpians. They can usually only be found on the Internet, as in real life they would lose everything for the shit they say. Can be found on /pol/, 8chan, and Metapedia. Some of the craziest advocate for full-on genocide or slavery, and some other, slightly less crazy ones advocate for segregation or a new Confederacy. Some make baseless claims that the Democratic Party is a communistterrorist organization.No, really. The most infamous is David Duke.

(n) The "grand old party" : The Nazi party of the U.S.A. (Seriously only the very worst of the Republicans like the KKK are any way near as bad as Nazis. Yes, their policies in Iraq lead to mass killing close to Genocide but they probably didn’t intend it. Remember saying people are Nazis when they aren’t can make you lose the argument, see Godwin's law.)

The party's economic views include cutting taxes to the rich so that they can have even more money than America's working class. Once again the hypocrisy shines in the party while they frequently demand lobbying reform and simultaneously get kickbacks from big business.

They claim that cutting taxes will create jobs, which is an utter lie, as seen with the Bush tax cuts. Many Republican people are not job creators, but rather lawyers or wall street bankers. Then the ones that do create jobs do so by outsourcing to China and Mexico where people work for chicken feed.

Furthermore, they refuse to help poor people with welfare and food stamps, forcing them to remain poor and spend less money, which is bad for even those greedy capitalists.

The moderates often advocate for some welfare and regulation, but less than the Democrats do, and are often shunned as "RINOs".

Also, before Reagan, health inspectors could go into supermarkets and inspect meat and pull it if it was bad. Not anymore. How's that for protecting people?

President Carter stated before he left office that his goal was to have 20% of the country's electricity to come from renewable energy, (he wanted solar power) in the year 2008. Reagan killed that bill. That hurt ordinary Americans, since in 2008, gas was $4.00 a gallon and people didn't want to replace their engines with Tesla engines. The Republican Party attempted to oust President Obama and replace him with Mitt Romney in 2012. Mitt Romney lost because of his insensitivity to the poor. Despite Mitt Romney's loss, the Republican Party managed to keep the House due to gerrymandering. Donald Trump doesn't give a damn about global warming because he has voters in the coal industry and doesn't believe in it in the first place.

Religion is one way Republicans try to control the masses. Basically, Republicans try and convince people that only Conservative Christians will be saved and many in the congregations of Fundamentalist Christian churches act as if that were true. That can translate to, "Vote Republican or go to Hell."

In September of 2018, there were peaceful protests against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. This is not the only example of Republicans acting as fascists. In the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), Republican lawmakers stole the First Amendment rights of the protesters by passing laws that make it harder for them to express free speech. In the freezing cold, protesters were shot down. Predominantly Republican police officers have arrested over 300 people in anti-Kavanaugh protests.

Bible. The Republicans' mind control device. And they don't even need to read it.
